21 Makeshift Background Story!

"I know from the future"

"The future?" Natalia was stunned, is she going to say she's a time traveler?

"Yes, I saw the future" While Limulu said calmly she was quite concerned whether she could successfully fool Natalia.

"How do you know the future, don't tell me you're a time traveler?" Natalia questioned with a dubious tone.

"Of course not. Do you know what a parallel world is?"

"Parallel universe?"

Natalia pondered, Limulu means she is from a parallel world?

"Do you think I would believe such a thing? I don't even believe that humans in a parallel universe will even have superpowers!" Even though Natalia somewhat believed Limulu was from a parallel world, she still questioned her as to gain more information.

Limulu gave her a blank stare "I didn't say I was human"

"Oh? Then what are you?" Natalia raised her eyebrows.

"A slime." Limulu said flatly.

"A slime? Such a creature exists?" Natalia was confused, wasn't slime that weird toy that children play with nowadays?

"Of course, though there's not many of them, on top of that there's basically no one but me who is conscious."

"Why are you conscious?" Natalia expected either a profound answer or a 'I don't know'

"No clue" Limulu shook her head

"Then can you explain the parallel world and why it has creatures such as you?"

"The world changed ever since 2024, as following the death of the celestial a certain energy which we call 'magicules'. Due to that energy every creature except humans mutated, of course humans weren't left out as some were able to manipulate 'magicules'."

Natalia was completely confused, are you telling me a fictional story?

She even wanted to scold Limulu, however her professionalism allowed her to refrain herself.

"What is the Celestial?" Natalia didn't have any knowledge of this creature.

"A celestial is a god-like being who is born from a planet, when they are an adult their mere head is the size of the earth. Of course they are not invincible as back there have been multiple records of them being killed, even once someone protected the earth from a group of them."

Natalia was shocked, as well as dubious. I mean how could such a creature exist?

"You didn't explain how you knew our identities?" While shocked, Natalia went back to the main point.

"Ah, that's because you were known as 'Black Widow' a superhero for a while"

"For a while?" Natalia was confused, how could she, a secret agent, become a superhero?

"Yes you died in 2023" Limulu was not the slightest concerned at the fact that she just spoiled someone's death.

Natalia wasn't the slightest bit surprised, she already knew she was likely to die on a mission one day.

"What about Coulson?" Natalia thinks that Coulson couldn't become a superhero so she was a bit puzzled.

"Ah, SHIELD showed up when aliens invaded New York in 2012."

Huh? Aliens invaded? Also why did SHIELD show up and not the US military?

"Can you tell me a bit about what happened from now till the time before you came here?"

Great sage, can you help me remember about 2012?

[Answer: Do you want to upload directly into your brain?]

Yes!

"I don't want to ruin the timeline so I'll just say something that will happen soon."

"First, Tony got attacked on a race car track by some villain who called himself 'Whiplash'. After that a big green man ran around Manhattan wrecking havoc.Then 'Thor' appeared, with a hammer, and then he fought a giant alien robot before leaving. Then Thor's brother Loki appeared and opened a portal to aliens to invade New york. That about sums it up"

Natalia was stunned, you summed up 2 years of information in a paragraph!?

"Wait, Thor and Loki? Then dose Asgard exist?"

"Yes, Asgard does exist, however the 'gods' are simply stronger aliens. Also there is obvious gaps between Asgardians, for example even 10 Thors couldn't beat Odin"

"How powerful are they?"

"Thor using his full strength could cause a city to lose power? As for Loki, even Tony can fight him without losing. Of course Odin's a completely different story, as he was the one which fought a group of Celestials and pushed them back."

"Why would Odin protect earth? Why did the Celestials come?" While Natalia was only half believing she still wanted to get more information.

"Odin is king of the nine realms which includes earth, however he doesn't interfere with the earth because of other existance's. As for the Celestials, I believe they treated earth as an experimental ground or something like that. I'm not too sure since I wasn't part of these things."

"Then how do you know about them" Natalia immediately questioned Limulu

"Secret~" Limulu stuck out her tongue.

Wait, why did I do that?

Limulu was confused at why she stuck out her tongue.

Before Limulu could think deeper about the problem Natalia once again asked something."

"One last request, you have a special status, strange origin and superpowers, so I hope you don't use your powers in ways that are too noticeable."

"How noticeable?"

"Either you leave key evidence or theres a large amount of witnesses"

Natalia didn't mention "Forbidden" because it was simply impossible. If she really forbid Limulu from using her abilities then it might have a backlash.

Limulu understood, "So as long as I'm a true assassin then it can be used!"

"Huh?" Natalia was a bit worried.

"I mean as long as there is no evidence it's fine" Limulu corrected herself.

"I didn't say that," Natalia said in an unconvincing tone.

After talking Natalia stretched out her hands and pinched Limulu's face.

"I wanted to pinch it for a while now."
